KMA may suspend, withdraw or confiscate a Kenyan SID where the holder knowingly permits another person to use the document.
The new Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) director general Martin Munga took office on Monday and is expected to be in charge for the next five years.

Ugandan International Master Arthur Ssegwayi will grace the event.
The agency said it plans to plant an extra 100,000 mangroves in Mtongani-Kidudu, Kilifi county. The plan involves planting of 25,000 mangrove trees on 25 acres along the seashore.
